All Marjorie (Alley) ever wanted was to become a writer: "like Sylvia Plath...only happy." But she put her dream aside to marry a doctor (Bakula)...before discovering that he has no bedside manner! Unhappy, unfulfilled and decidedly unsatisfied, she attempts to find bliss in a hotel room with a handsome stranger. But when the man she checks in with checks out for good-leaving behind only a smiling corpse and a shocking identity-Marjorie will have to cover up the body and the affair...or she may as well write off the rest of her life!
